I went to a farm auction and bought a bundle of oddballs because I thought they looked neat. There was a 41 victor doublegrip, a Victor doubleshot, 51 diamond walloper and others. That was 30 years ago and I still haven't been cured of this disease. And I hope I never am cured. "It's not a hobby. it's a disease".

I don't have much of a collection. I always look at the traps I find in flea markets. If I find one that I haven't seen before, I'll buy it. If the price is right...
So far just a #14 Newhouse and a Victor 21.5 "shoulder catch."
I knew the Newhouse would have some collector value, but I just thought it was cool. The 21.5 was just something I had never seen so I bought it.

#14 Newhouse for me too. Something about traps with teeth that blows what little hair I have back. Especially offset with teeth.

Mine was a # 81 Newhouse that I acquired with a bunch of other # 1 Victors in about 1964 for muskrat trapping. I just thought at the time it was just a different type of trap, with no thought of what I had. Set these out in some rather high theft areas and it survived.
